faculty senate last week.

He says Virginia's universities
"dodged a bullet" when legislators
settled on taking 69 million dollars
out of the general fund to use for
transportation rather than the 250
million dollars originally discussed.

At the Blacksburg school, there
will be more construction and higher
operating costs.
